During the 4-6 hours after Dysport or Botox injections, will tilting my head downward or upward increase risk of migration?

pac99Feb 22, 2018
During the 4-6 hours after Dysport or Botox injections, I read that you should remain upright to minimize risk of migration. I don’t plan on lying down or bending over during that time. But I didn’t know if I also needed to keep my head level. For example, would tilting my head upward to watch TV or tilting it downward to read a book increase risk of migration?

Dysport should be done every 3-4 months on average. As for the Restylane, its longevity depends on the area in which the product was injected. Restylane placed in the tear troughs typically lasts at least one year. Restylane in the nasolabial folds (or the lines between the nose and...
